The effects of intravenous hexamethonium on venous pressure of normotensive and hypertensive patients with and without congestive heart failure.
نویسنده
چکیده
The response of atrial pressure, venous pressure, pulse and respiratory rates to intravenous hexamethonium in 38 selected patients was studied. The drug seemed more effective where vascular tone was greater. Increased venous tone was indicated in congestive heart failure. The possible useful role of intravenous hexamethonium as an adjunct in the treatment of congestive heart failure was concluded from the objective and subjective observations made.

متن کاملEffects of chronic clonidine administration on sympathetic nerve traffic and baroreflex function in heart failure.
Congestive heart failure is characterized by a sympathetic activation that is coupled with a baroreflex impairment. Whether these alterations are affected by clonidine is unknown. In 26 normotensive patients age 58.0+/-1.1 years (mean+/-SEM) affected by congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional class II or III) and treated with furosemide and enalapril, we measured mean ar...

Safranal, the main component of Crocus sativus essential oil, exhibits different pharmacological activities. In this study, the effects of safranal, on blood pressure of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) - salt induced hypertensive rats in chronic administration were investigated. Three doses of safranal (1, 2 and 4 mg/kg/day) and spironolactone (50 mg/kg/day) were administra...
متن کاملMechanisms of increased venous smooth muscle tone in desoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertension.
The purpose of the present study was to identify mechanisms that contribute to increased venous smooth muscle tone in desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were uninephrectomized, received subcutaneous implants of DOCA, and drank 1% sodium chloride/0.2% potassium chloride solutions. Sham-operated rats received only uninephrectomy and drank tap w...
